I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With

Chapter 312:

Chapter 312:

After being pulled out of the collapsing underground space by Stardus I was looking around with a cold expression on my face.

What the hell is going on?

My head, still reeling from my initial wakefulness, regained its composure after some time.

With my sanity restored, I flew through the air, wind in my hair, lost in thought.

First, I seem to have lost my memory.

The words I hear in my earphones now may be fabricated lies, but when I heard that tone, it was unmistakably me. That's not something you can mimic.

And, from what I can piece together so far.

"Stardus, what was I doing here?"

"Ugh, huh? You're here to catch the Wish Granter, don't you remember?"

Her voice trembled as she answered my question.

I shrugged it off as nothing to such a Stardus, and flew off in her grasp, passing judgment.

Apparently, this is the world of the manga I once read, Stardus!

I don't know why that manga has become a reality, but the name Stardus and the familiarity of the villain's name make it almost certain. I mean, there's a woman flying in the sky right now, so of course it's her, and this prison is Carqueas?

With that thought, I burst out laughing at the absurdity of the situation.

Shit. I woke up and fell into a cartoon. I thought things were going well for me lately, but life is crazy.

And by the looks of it, it's been a while since I fell into this world. Judging by the way she was talking about me killing the Wish Granter, and the very thorough recording, I'm guessing I traded my memories.

With that, I calmly assessed the situation.

I've always been a cool head in a crisis. Before I panic, I must live.

I glanced back at Stardus, flying in the sky with me, and came to the conclusion

I guess.

I was a hero in this world.

That was it.

Otherwise, Stardus wouldn't be so desperate to save me, and her expression shows that she is very concerned for me. At least I'm a sidekick. Hero Egostic, which doesn't sound very heroic.

I feign calm at the suddenness of the situation, when in reality I'm almost half out of my mind.

Stardus and I finally made it out of the crumbling prison.

We finally emerged into the blue sky, floating next to the clouds and looking down on the great prison below.

Or, more accurately, a prison castle that was about to collapse, wrapped in strange, thick black tentacles.

No, is that okay?

Just as I was thinking that my voice came out of my earpiece.

[Okay, you're out of there, hopefully everything's okay, but I'm sure something happened, like the tentacle guy went on a rampage.]

[In that case, the answer is Stardus. She'd be here in a heartbeat if there was an incident of this magnitude, so tell her she can take him down, if she attacks with the power of the star that glows in her body.]

The voice suggested a solution calmly and without a moment's hesitation, I obeyed.

"Stardus, I want you to listen to me carefully. You see that monster down there? I need you to catch him before it gets any bigger."

"Okay, but what about you?"

She asked me in a shaky voice, and I calmly replied.

[Tell her to drop you off at the top of the castle with the red flag.]

"Drop me off on the roof of the castle with the red flag over there."

"Okay."

At my words, Stardus nodded with trembling eyes and headed that way.

I think she realized I'd lost my memory from the start, but the concern and worry in her eyesIt was almost overwhelming.

""

I've never seen Stardus care that much, even in the original.

No matter how much I think about it, there must have been something special between me and her

I looked down from the top of the tower as I thought about it.

-Kaaaaaaaah.

A cold wind was whipping around, and below me, giant black tentacles were rising from the ground, making a mess of the prison above.

And in the middle of it all, I see a flash of yellow light.

That's probably Stardus.

But am I some kind of pseudo-hero or something? Am I supposed to just watch and not help?

I sighed deeply as I gazed down at the sci-fi scene.

Just then, a voice came out of my earpiece.

[Oh, and I didn't tell you this.]

[You are a villain.]

"?"

And the moment I heard that I was dazed for a moment.

What, Villain? Me?

Is this some kind of April Fool's joke?

For a moment, a dozen things popped into my head to retort to that statement, and then it subsided again.

No, don't fuck with me. Stardus wouldn't react like that, that's the kind of reaction you'd expect from a teammate in the line of fire.

With that thought, I looked back at my body.

".."

It was then that I realized I was dressed in a black hat, all black, cloak, and a white mask over my eyes.

A villainous all-black look.

And now that I think about it, the name Egostic is an anagram of Egoistic, which means selfish

What the hell.

That's when I realized I was confused.

[So, all my friends are villains, too. Don't freak out.]

With that said.

"Da-in!!!"

"Hey, Egostic!"

A girl's voice came from the sky.

and I looked up.

".?"

I was speechless as I saw the familiar faces from the original, stepping off the giant flying ship.

No, the real villains?

Wait. Then what's Stardus' reaction?'

And just like that, I was plunged into a great confusion.

My Stardus wouldn't do that to a villain.
